I hope you are enjoying a relaxing holiday weekend.
I am traveling in Sweden with Martha. But if I were at home this weekend, I would definitely be enjoying one of these cocktails dreamed up by the talented food team at Martha Stewart.
They are not only delicious but incredibly beautiful. Each one seems to mimic the colors of summer.
1 A gorgeous peach color.
2 I like the idea of decorating your cocktails. Here, a gimlet is dressed up with the thinnest strip of cucumber.
3 This has all the colors of a gorgeous summer sunset.
4 Like sunshine in a glass.
5 Perfect for a lazy summer afternoon.
6 A colorful take on the classic margarita.
7 Like an inviting pool, this color just makes you want to dive right in.
8 Fresh herbs, like thyme, impart an aromatic layer to a spiked lemonade.
9 Watermelon in liquid form.
10 My favorite: Champagne with a twist
Now that we have the sights and tastes of summer covered, I asked Kerstin Czarra, the home and garden editor on marthastewart.com to whip up an end-of-summer playlist for your ears. Download and enjoy today or anytime you need a summery lift.
Sit back, sip slowly, and enjoy!
